Tragic news. I loved Waymon in his Oklahoma days (not so much with 1984's Team USA). I've never heard his jazz, but he looks so happy holding that bass. R.I.P. Waymon.

He was a great King during some lean years...RIP Wayman

It's cool that ESPN Classic is showing the 1985 matchup between La. Tech w/the Mailman and Oklahoma.

I'll tell ya, Wayman played a sick bass but all I ever heard was his smoove jazz.

RIP

I was thinking the same thing earlier today. However, there are thousands (if not millions) of other people who die his age or a lot younger from similar causes who arent lucky enough to experience such a great life like his, albeit cut short. I have a feeling he may have thought along those same lines, I hope he did at least.
